Flying Air New Zealand to Middle Earth . . . Safely
Air New Zealand has done it again . . . made a nice safety video for flights to the land of Frodo, Bilbo, and Smaug. Weird to think I’ve been there (and just this year!). I hope to get back … Continue reading

Marvel Cinematic Cynicism? (or is it just satire?)
Hard to believe that we’re almost two months on the other side of the release of Guardians of the Galaxy. There was a long moment where the movie’s success was an uncertainty. It was probably the biggest risk Marvel Studio’s … Continue reading
A Banner for Five Armies
I haven’t said much about the imminent release of final installment of The Hobbit (which isn’t to say that I have nothing to say, mind you). I’ve got a theory and I’m excited, but I’d rather put those thoughts down … Continue reading
Apes and a Time That Will Not Return
When the sun sets on the cinematic summer of 2014, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will stand out as one of the season’s best. Like so many of the best sequels, it moves the story forward in a … Continue reading

Waiting for Muppets Most Wanted
2011’s The Muppets was a real “shot in the arm” for a significant but flagging pop culture franchise. It balanced sweet and edgy, nostalgia and new, well. We’re just under a month away from seeing the sequel, which is unfortunately … Continue reading
Mal Reynolds and the First Rule of Flying
I found the complete series of Firefly on sale for $10 at Wal-Mart a week ago. I hadn’t watch the series in some time, since I found my original discs had gotten scratched up some. So I’ve spent the last … Continue reading
